In 1985, Fla was number 1 and we beat them.

From the gators themselves

11/9/1985 ''No. 1 for a Week'' Florida 3 vs. Georgia 24
From 1983-85 Florida was having its best run ever. In 1983 they had gone 9-2-1, in 1984 won their first SEC title, albeit then stripped, while going 9-1-1, and had opened the 1985 season 7-0-1. After winning at Auburn 14-10 in a battle of top-10 teams (UF No. 2, AU No. 6), Florida moved to the No. 1 ranking for the first time in school history. The ranking lasted one week.
?
A Georgia team that would go 7-3-2 on the season ran wild on the Florida defense in a 24-3 victory. Dawg freshmen RBs Keith Henderson (145 yards, 76 yard TD run, two total TDs) and Tim Worley (104 yards, 89 yard TD run) keyed UGA’s 344 total rushing yards. UGA stifled the Gator rushing attack and sacked Kerwin Bell numerous times allowing them to survive his 408 yards passing. The loss broke Galen Hall’s 15-0-1 record at Florida.
Florida would go on to have the best record in the SEC again as they finished 9-1-1 overall and 5-1 in the league, but would be ineligible for the SEC crown due to still being on probation. Unsure of crooked 1980s NCAA politics, I have no idea whether they were eligible for the national title, but they had been voted No. 1 that week so I assume they were eligible, meaning the Dawgs cost them a title shot.
